Worlds Away

Cuts and bruises spread across her body like stars in the universe

    Her universe

Gashes are the rips in the space-time continuum

    Puffs of smoke, the nebulae which birth and nurture new stars

Black holes are her scars

    When will she stop fighting life?

 

infinities

Forever isn’t good enough

    To describe how long

        I can and will

            Love you

 

She is beauty

The cold, crisp air welcomes her

And wherever she goes…

A rainbow follows.

 

LD

What distance could keep me away

    from you

        anyway

Not a Little Mermaid

My thoughts are the sea

        But I can’t swim.

 

fragrant

If life is like a rose,

    Why am I so interested

        In the thorns?

 

Self Love

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, they say

    “Behold,”

        “My beauty”

You say.

 

Light me

The universe was so bleak

    And then you came along

 

Singular

Seven billion and counting

    Not including the possibility

Of other beings out there

        I love you

belonging

Run away with me

And you will never

Have to worry again

For I am yours,

    And you are mine.

 

comfort

A flicker of green passes by

    The faint image

Of the flannel I bought him

Closes around me

    I am home.

 

energy

Tired as I may be

    I will never be tired

        Of you

 

AU

Multiple versions of myself run

    Wild

        And free

Some get hurt and others

die

A COLLECTION OF SMALL THOUGHTS

Arson

Shades of crimson

And fiery orange

    The flames in my heart

        Burn bright.

 

recent

There’s something sinister

Living inside our happy exterior

We humans harbour

A mutual

    And very real

        Sadness.

 

Wild

Possessing a wild imagination

Is too much work

Yet here I am

    Wildly

Imaginative

 

Completionist

I need to complete myself

 

All in my head

It feels as if I’m walking on eggshells

I don’t wanna mess this up

Double whammed

How can I ask him

To have no fear or anxiety

If he needs to confide in me

When I can’t do the same

 

Numbness

Forcing myself to think is so much more difficult

I've spent so much time

Trying to never think again

 

Finding you

I'm not used to acceptance

But acceptance

Is so nice

You

Are so nice

 

Closeness

Toss and turn with me

An intimate dance

For us only

 

Helical

Two lives entwined together

Like the double helix

Of our DNA

Get real

You can’t hide in your head

    forever

Get over yourself

    And get out of yourself

 

Live

Get your head back into the important things

And out of your ass

 

Anger management

I'm not sure if it's my impatience

Or if it's the way they answered

But I'm mad about it

 

No grudges

Maybe I'm mad but

Hey

I'm mad about you

 

Chance

Just when I thought I'd have to wait forever

Again

You came along

 

Y.A.

A fantasy come true

That's what you are

toxic

When will you stop poisoning your mind

    With endless doubts?

 

All in my head II

Sleep isn’t the matter here

    mentality is

 

C8H10N4O2

As I wait for the caffeine to kick in

Does the caffeine really work

Or does it just give me more anxiety

 

Failed search

I keep staring out into space

    As if

        I’m looking for the answers

That are already right in front of me

 

burn

The quietest people

Have the greatest inner flame

 

Blank

Blank page, blank stare

Blank mind

When will they return?

faint

How do you get over the negativity

    That feeds on your psyche

How do you cure yourself

    Of seemingly endless fatigue

        You feel everyday

 

waterfalls

Now that my thoughts are

    overflowing

        Will you still love me?

 

unconscious

The more I try to stay awake

The less awake I am

 

drown

Black satin that flows

Liquid and conforming

Embrace me with your gentle touch

I long to become one with you

But that time has not yet come

 

Tick

Why do I spend an eternity

Waiting

3:33am

It’s so weird.

This type of loneliness

It’s overwhelming in its own way

A manifestation, personification

More than a feeling

So much so that it feels like it’s sitting in my chair

In my room

    observing

my every move

It feels like when someone is staring at you

A hole being burned into you like a lit match against paper

They’re just right fucking there

But it isn’t a person there

Just loneliness

Seeping into my bones.
